NonStop SQL/MP
NonStop SQL/MP. The Tandem relational database management system that promotes
efficient online access to large distributed databases. See also Structured Query
Language (SQL) and Enscribe database record manager.
NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (NonStop TM/MP). A Tandem software product that
provides transaction management, transaction protection, and database consistency in
online transaction processing (OLTP) environments. It gives full protection to
transactions that access NonStop SQL/MP and Enscribe databases, as well as
recovery capabilities for transactions, online disk volumes, and entire databases. The
component of NonStop TM/MP that provides these features is the TMF subsystem.
See also Transaction Management Facility (TMF) subsystem.
NonStop Transaction Services/MP (NonStop TS/MP). A Tandem product that provides
process management and link management functions for OLTP applications on
Tandem NonStop systems. NonStop TS/MP consists of the PATHMON process, the
LINKMON process, the PATHCOM process and interface, and the Pathsend
procedures. Together with NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (NonStop TM/MP),
NonStop TS/MP forms the foundation for Tandem’s open transaction processing
services, including those provided by the RSC and POET products, the NonStop
TUXEDO system, and the Parallel Transaction Processing (PTP) Services for the
